The unique properties of the Jovian source have been utilized since it's discovery in the 1970s to investigate charged particle transport. Solving Parker's transport equation via the stochastic differential equation method, we aim to further restrain the parameter space and derive these parameters more self consistently. We both implemented a newly derived Jovian source spectrum and an improved approach to calculate the mean free paths. We like to show preliminary results of modelling the Jovian spectrum at earth and how they relate to electron spectra measurements by various spacecraft.
